The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its latest ‘world economic outlook’ report, has highlighted that India is poised to become a $2 trillion economy this year, moreover Indian GDP size would cross another milestone of $3 trillion after five years in 2019.
The IMF noted that Indian GDP would increase from $1.88 trillion in 2013 to $2.05 trillion this year and $3.18 trillion in 2019, surpassing Russia, Brazil and Italy. India's ranking would also improve to seventh largest economy in the world in 2019 from its tenth position currently.
Over the past two fiscal years, Indian economy had struggled with slowdown and its growth stayed below 5% for the second year in a row at 4.7% during FY14. The factors like high interest rate and stubborn inflation, low investments and slow execution of infrastructure projects have impacted country’s economy growth. However, the economy has shown signs of nascent recovery during the first quarter of current fiscal. India’s economy expanded at its fastest pace in more than two years by 5.7% during Q1FY15 as compared to 4.7% growth recorded in same quarter last year. Recently, the IMF projected 5.6% economic growth for India in FY15, citing better exports and investment prospects under the new Narendra Modi government.
On global front, the IMF noted that United States would remain the world's largest economy by the end of 2014 with a size of $17.42 trillion followed by China at $10.35 trillion. For the next five years, United States would remain the world's largest economy in 2019 with a size of $22.15 trillion, followed by China at $15.52 trillion and Japan at $ 5.43 trillion.
